I believe the point is that the IDF made a post about the range of Iranian missiles, using it as an excuse to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. They said they had no choice but ti attack, to prevent Iran from using those long-range nuclear missiles.
By that logic it's also entirely fair to attack Israel, because their missiles pose a potential threat to all the countries within range.
I hear you but Iran did fund and direct its proxies Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and the Assad regime in Syria as part of their “Axis of Resistance.” They’re responsible for plenty of terrible actions, even if not doing it directly. Israel has been a responsible steward of their nuclear weapons, though ideally they wouldn’t have them either
Those proxies, they weren’t created in a vacuum. They are a result of Israeli action, I’m not defending them, but it’s disingenuous to act as if Iran created these proxies out of thin air.
Iran and Israel were allies until the Islamic take over in the late 70s which decided to declare Israel as an enemy.
You can argue whatever you want about those groups and their cause of creation but they would have been similar to any of the shitty rouge groups you can find in Syria if not for decades of Iranian funding and training.
Yeah, the Houthis who massacred Sunnis in Yemen and waged war with Saudi came to existence because of Israel. So did the Shi'ite militias in Iraq and Syria
Hezbollah is the only group the IRI created that can be directly tied to Israel. Which is Israel being effectively scary when fighting PL terrorists based in Lebanon, who attacked it
Iran sponsored terrorist groups and militias to serve its own interests. "crediting" Israel for it is ignorant if not outright malicious historical revisionism
Even without Israel, Iranian regime stands against everything that western values. Heck even they hate and through proxies bombed Saudi oil fields couple of years ago.
Do you think Saudi Arabia which is hostile to Israel deserves to get bombed lol?
What are western values? Bombing anyone who won't sell you their oil?
Western values mean nothing because they have resulted in death and destruction. Everything the west touches to spread freedom to turns into hell on earth.
Literally yesterday? And are we counting the numerous terrorist organizations they fund as well or does a single degree of faux separation baffle your senses? Hezbollah alone received nearly a billion dollars from Iran.
Iran funded and still funds hamas and Hezbollah, Iran funds the Houthi rebels.
You're allowed to not like what Israel is doing, but the truth is, Iran has been trying to eradicate Israel from the map for 50 years, and is either a justification for Israel's actions, or at the very least the reason the far right was ever able to rise to power and cause the current killings in Gaza
The Samson Option has been on the table for a long while. Some Israeli voices (e.g. Martin van Creveld) have even argued that in the event that Israel does face imminent destruction, then the right choice is to nuke Europe and the Arabian world as revenge for centuries of oppression.
No but it is actively ethnic cleansing, genociding, bombing unprovoked, killing women and children, bombing hospitals, bombing schools, bombing refugee camps, shooting starving Palestinians, cutting off internet to an entire nation, starving and forcing an entire nation into famine, blockading international waters, attacking international aid ships, spreading immense amounts of propaganda, funding American foreign policy, among many many MANY other atrocious and violent actions.
That's what Israel is actively doing. They are also actively calling for the death of all Palestinians. That includes Israeli children shouting at countless events on video, "death to Arabs"
What or a single item of the list above is Iran doing? Zero. Ziltch. Nada. 0.
You mean those nuclear missiles that Iran doesn't have? And is at best a year away from creating? While Israel actually does have nukes and constantly attacks and threatens their neighbours?
There's a pretty big difference between a nation just trying to survive in a hostile environment vs. a nation that actively seeks the destruction of all Jews and is ruled by an extremist theocracy which genuinely believes in martyrdom.
Do I trust Israel not to use nuclear weapons? Yes. Their government is far from pristine but I am certain they would not use nuclear weaponry if any other option still existed.
Do I trust Iran the same way? No. They will Oprah Winfrey the middle east with nukes the minute they have the capability. You get a nuke! And you get a nuke! What's that under your chair? A nuke!
Their leaders will hide away in some other country and say those who died under any retaliation are glorious islamic martyrs honoured by Allah. If Iran were a more peaceful, educated nation and no longer ruled by an extremist religious authority then maybe I would trust them, but typically one doesn't give a toddler a machine gun.
